New Unis won't help and actually I wouldn't care if they wore pink jeans and tee shirts as long as they win. I am onboard with hireing a new head coach to go with our new defensive coordinator though.
Blah, blah, blah. For what its' worth, my off the boat grandparents (Lombardi and Amabile) only referred to it as gravy.
Williams had done a good job as DC with few star players to work with and a lot of guys off the street. But there was friction with Gase and that dumb call looked awfully like putting ego before the team. 'Dumbest call I've ever seen' -Rex Ryan.
Regarding gravy vs sauce, you have to remember that Italy is not one country, but many. Specifically, three major regions, Alt Italia (northern half of the mainland), Bas Italia (southern half) and Sicilia. People from those parts of the country rarely consider the other regions countrymen and the language, food and culture, at least in Sicily are markedly different, The Italian born Mrs. Fudbutter who grew up in a family that predominately spoke Italian had a great deal of trouble talking to people in Sicily. She says that the term gravy used instead of saying sauce is predominately Sicilian but also occasionally used in parts of Bas Italia, mostly from those who originated in Napoli.
Just taking an opportunity to be pedantic

Let us settle this Gravy/Sauce thing now. Being part German we put Gravy on our meat. Being part swiss we put brown gravy on our noodles & beef. Being part Irish we get sauced at night. But as an American we put tomato sauce on our pasta. Ok I hope that explains it.

Vince you are the son of Vince cool
yes it is a misleading stat you are right but it worked for my arguement which you just messed up for me
I said the same about Revis. if no one ever throws at the guy he's covering and they just light up the other side of the field, what has Revis really done? and how do we know how good he is if the ball never goes his way?
That is why Brady always took control of his Balls. (Pre game that is folks Gisele has got the others)yes it is a misleading stat you are right but it worked for my arguement which you just messed up for me
Makes sense for my people's use of 'gravy'; grandfather Lombardi was was from near Bari and grandmother Amabile/Lombardi was from near Naples.

Where the term came about
Although the term “Gravy” doesn’t exist in Italy, it WAS in fact invented by Italians from Italy. When Italians immigrated to the United States, they tried to assimilate to American culture. Although they wanted to keep their traditions and heritage, they desired to become accepted in the new country. For most Italians, this meant learning English!
When you wave your arms (Italian sign language) Do you wave for gravy or do you wave for Sauce or is there a wave for each. I just wave for more.(yes I am a pig) Now with pizza everyone I ask says how much sauce do you want on your pizza not gravy ...right??
So if i invite any many of you over for Thanksgiving I need two kinds of gravy???? Tomatoes & gravy don't mix & when i ask who wants more gravy.......I need to pass both dishes.........
Who want a Chocolate Sundae with chocolate Gravy????? Just does not fit unless you put on tomato gravy....
anything for a paesano !
In his prime, Revis took out the star receiver of the other side without us having to double cover him. We could then use the 'extra' defender elsewhere. Of course this only works where the opposition has one stand-out receiver, if they have a lot of equivalent guys then you could argue that one man was taking out Revis.yes it is a misleading stat you are right but it worked for my arguement which you just messed up for me
